One of my favorite quotes is, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away, but 7 apples on Sunday just gives you a stomach ache.” I have NO IDEA where I first heard this . . . but my interpretation is consistent action every day is far better than doing nothing all week, and then “catching up” on Sunday.
Usually when we think about applying consistent action, the action is related to creating a change. Maybe the change is health related, maybe it is related to marketing, maybe to learning a new skill. Either way, chipping away at it a little bit at a time creates the best results.
One of my “consistent action” stories has to do with the Ultimate Blog Challenge. Through this challenge I was exposed to wonderful, interesting, and dedicated bloggers – daily. I continue to make it a priority to reach out to these creative individuals to connect – how can I serve them and their community? What amazing talents are they bringing to the table that I can tap into for my community?
One of these bloggers is Keri Kight. Keri helps women enjoy themselves and enjoy life. Next week I’ll be sharing a guest post from Keri about finding your happiness.
In the meantime since today’s topic is about creating change I’m inviting you to check out Keri’s blog for my guest post “Are You Ready to Create Change?”
Once there, please leave a comment! I promise, it’s worth your time to make the extra “click” to get to the post!

True it is not a race and the moment we accept that everything gets all fun.

I’m with you. I’m meeting some amazing stories and bloggers which I wouldn’t have met if I opted to stay silent behind the computer. Plus, this blog writing challenge is really a good thing. I’m starting my blog challenge today – May 1st. Good for you!

Posting once a day has been a real eye-opener for me. I expected it to be much tougher than it was but I found the more I wrote the easier it got, not harder. Consistent action really helps :)

Action breeds more action! Great job! Thanks for the comment.

So true what you say about consistency and not about eating 7 apples on Sunday! A little bit every day goes a long way. I’ve been applying that principle during the month of April. And it works just like my mother says – a drop a day will fill the bucket.

Thanks for your comment! Slow progress is still progress!

Some days it is so hard to be consistent because of all you may be doing, but consistency really is the key to success…in anything and everything! As always, great post!
Hi Julie
I agree!!!!! Even if we only dedicate 15 minutes each day – the results can be substantial! Thanks for stopping by!
Lisa
I love the quote Lisa!
Thanks Remy!!!
I am posting more, about 3 times a week, sometimes is a real article, sometimes is just a new image on the site/blog , I think I am improving also in scheduling fb page and twitter… So I agree with you: day by day we’d better take some steps forward! p.s. I love that apple quote but I can’t say it anymore, my hubby to be is a doctor!!!!!!
Bravo, Clara!!! I’m giggling about your “doctor in the family” comment. I certainly don’t want you to keep your hubby to be away!!!
